Battersea Park is a great little park to stroll through. It has a peace pagoda, a nice pond, and zoo. It's very peaceful. Plus from there, you can cross the river and have a nice walk down to Parliament and all of the touristy areas. To get there, just get off of Marble Arch Tube or my personal favo…

One of the many cool things we enjoyed in Edinburgh was scaling the Scott Memorial. The structure is an amazing black gothic spire roughly 200-feet tall. The incredible thing is that it was constructed in the 1840’s as a memorial to Sir Walter Scott. Perhaps not as rem…

A quick guide to my hometown of Seaford, nestled nicely between Brighton and Eastbourne on the south coast of England in East Sussex. It has a population of about 30,000 people, and is the 4th largest town in the county!
In my opinion, the best attraction here is the beach. It stretches from Seafo…

I visited the highlands of Scotland for the first time this year. Wow! The magnificent scenery, wonderful friendly people and the fantastic range of things to do, what more can you say! Why has no one told me about this amazing part of the united kingdom? This is indeed a very well kept secret. We …

OK, it's only free if you have much, much better self control than me. But no-one's going to MAKE you buy stuff. It's not like there's a cover charge.
Bristol is one of the few cities in the South West that feel like cities, rather than just big towns blessed with Cathedrals. I mean, Exeter an…

The ferry booking was done via the website. The ferry port was very busy and ticket queue can get pretty long. So save yourself the hassle and the queue - do it online! The website also offers package deals that include ferry and accomodation. So if you have planned well in advance, this can save yo…

peppertm says:
This thing is a god send if you are in London for an extended period of time. It is incredibly convenient, as you just put money on it and go. No waiting in lines for the ticket machine or fumbling in your pockets for change when you get onto a bus. You scan it at the turnstile, and go through. …

I found the London Pass to be a good idea also. Their book lists a lot of things to do, and gives discounts to do them. You can also get multi-day transportation passes. When I go, I get their pass, and a travel pass that starts the day I arrive. I then take the Underground into London from Heathrow…

There's also a high speed train now available, primarily from Paris (Gare de Lyon) that takes you to other destinations. It's average priced, but the direct, high speed nature of these trains will make it a lot more convenient. I think there is a connection to London, but I'm not sure about Italy - …
